In this paper, I will focus on the changes in Telemachus’ behavior during Book 1 and 2. I would like to argue that “μένος καὶ θάρσος (1. 321)” that Athene gives to Telemachus in Book 1 arouses his “anger”, and that this anger changes his behavior and thoughts into something very different from what they were before. This paper will show that while the growth of Thelemachus is tied to those who contend for honor, as is the case with many characters in The Iliad, these various elements are not involved in the growth of Thelemachus in Odyssey. In the beginning of Book 1, Telemachus was portrayed as a weak, disappointed young man who has never known his father. However, after Athene put “strength and spirit μένος καὶ θάρσος” in his heart, Telemachus said “Discussion is concerned in all men, especially me”, as like Hector in Iliad Book 6. Telemachus seems to behave the heroes of Iliad with battle. In Book 2, Telemchus threw the staff because of anger and distress. In the Iliad Book 1, Achilles did the same, so this action reminds of Achilles, but in fact the consequence of these actions are different. While Achilles succeeded in expressing his anger and his swear is clarified, Telemachus couldn’t persuade the audience alithough he could touch their heratstrings. This description showed his assertion was ineffective. He wasn’t conscious of his position as the master of house inheriting from Odysseus. His anger led his development, not the settlement of problem around his house. Although Odyssey is a story that tells the story after Iliad, Odyssey Book 1 and 2 show that it is a story that develops under different themes and heroic images through this portrayal of Thelemachus.
